Closing RemarksMay 5, 2011

Norbert Holtkamp

Charge

• Is the strategic direction of the accelerator R&D at SLAC consistent with the most promising areas of science?

• Is the role of the Accelerator R&D at SLAC well defined?• Does the Accelerator R&D program support and serve the main

missions of the laboratory? • Is the infrastructure at SLAC well utilized to serve the R&D program? • Is the plan to develop and grow Accelerator R&D and its supporting

infrastructure sustainable? • Are the core SLAC Accelerator R&D directions consistant with the

mission priorities of the funding agencies? • To what level could/should a Work for Others program grow? What

agencies should SLAC approach for funding? • Is the financial risk to the laboratory that the Accelerator R&D program

represents acceptable?

Accelerator R&D: Strategy 2

Other questions?

• Is there any more information we should provide?

• What will happen next?– Discussion tomorrow in the SPC meeting– Continued discussion with DOE on the path forward– Implementing an infrastructure to run WFO program– Seek connection to industry beyond HP RF

• If this is not the right strategy…. We need more time.
